How to createa Workflow to edit data in many projects?

How Could I create a workflow, to take data from many project, and edit tchem, or pass the data betwen Projects ?

Code.  A workflow is a process an issue goes through, and you probably want to do this work in post-functions.  But you'll need to write the code for the post-functions (or use script runner to do it)

If you need help with that here, you'll want to explain what you're trying to do so that we can give you some guidance or suggestions.

In project Users we register like issues users(name, surname, login and permissions). In project Clients, we register like issues clients(name, address and accountant data). In project Opportunities, that if we want create record, we should choose user and client from two before above mentioned, to assign their data to opportunity. Please Nic help how to make this workflow.

The relationship you've described there is nothing to do with workflow, it sounds like you're very confused about what issues and workflows are for. What you are describing is almost an issue-picker field. These historically have performance issues, so I don't usually advise that you find or write one, and the ones I've seen don't display the information you usually need or limit the selections well. You could look at issue links instead, but there's no way to limit them to particular data sets. Two safer options: 1) You might find it better to use one of the "database fields" from the marketplace, as they could be pointed at a single project and select the issue summaries from them 2) Ok, yes, this is workflow - create a new custom field for each lookup, then create a workflow for the two projects (user and client), with post-functions that add/update the options in the fields

Nic how could I create Lookup field in Jira for different fields? I think in this solutionI need Lookup Fild todifrent many project.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "lookup field for different fields".

[Zawistowski Grzegorz]

Nic I write Lookup Field to different projects. Choose Project and choose a Field which should be lookup with a context.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

I'm still not sure I get it, but I think what you mean is what I mentioned above - a field that looks up an issue in another project. I'd still look at the database fields for doing that.

[Zawistowski Grzegorz]

But how iplement this field Nic. Maybe redy solution, or should be write ?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Again, look at the database fields in the marketplace. If they don't suit you, then yes, coding.
